Finished in Antena 3 the ninth season of ‘Your face is familiar to me’, who has measured the ability of nine artists to imitate a singer, now it is his turn to ‘The Challenge’, contest that puts famous people to the test with high-level physical and skill challenges.

The program has a new addition to the jury, the by Pilar Rubio, an expert in facing great challenges with great success in ‘El hormiguero’. The presenter comes to replace Tamara Falco (also a collaborator on the Pablo Motos program), who did this role in the first season. “Pilar is the seed of this program & rdquor ;, remembers Roberto Leal, its presenter. Rubio confesses to having been too empathic with the contestants and that she has only given worse scores to those who have not made an effort. Together with her, they will continue to provide her scathing criticism – each in her style – her, Santiago Segura and Juan del Val (also collaborator of ‘El hormiguero’ and husband of Nuria Roca).

The space, which promises to have more moments of tension and emotion than in the previous season (whichand Kira Miró won, who, after Rubio’s move to Madrid, replaces her in the challenges of ‘El hormiguero’), is recorded in false direct, which means that it does not stop, something that gives it greater authenticity. “The two hours that the show lasts have been recorded in two hours,” explains Jorge Salvador, executive producer of the program on 7y Acción. To the presenter of him, Roberto Leal, addicted to direct, as he showed when he was in charge of ‘OT’, on TVE-1, allows him to recover that adrenaline that means not being able to repeat. Always involved in his programs, too will participate in a challenge: “To begin with, in a battle of roosters with a rapper who has won an international contest, but I will also do an exhibition of something from the cinema with Juan del Val, who despite his serious appearance, has a comical vis& rdquor ;, he comments.
